totally and completely off topic...but does anyone coming to the swap want any wallpaper sample books? I have a bunch I don't want and before I toss them I thought I'd offer them to crafters or anyone else interested.
Lori

I have 2 trays of Blood Leaf to bring, it was next to the Coleus that froze but it didn't freeze it just singed a bit on top, so this indicates it can take some cold... also some Hens and Chickens, also some cuttings of Mulberry, if anyone wants it.... the birds love it and I keep it low and tie the whips down so I can reach the berries as well.... and I plan on stopping in Publix and getting some cookies, and other decadent stuff guaranteed to not be fattening.... Tom is going to guide us, my DIL is going to drive me she is also into gardening... I can also bring some fern if anybody is interested, also Purple Queen also Oyster Plant, if anyone wants this let me know and I'll bring more....... sally

I can bring a plethera of veggie seeds, I have tons of different Ice Box watermelon seeds, and several different green variety cantaloupe seeds if anyone is any interested.

For those with a truck or trailer, some of my veggie arbors (not the trellises) and T-post could also be yours, they are taking up just too much space in my little 575SF backyard garden. Please drop me a line if your interested in a few of these, otherwise I won't bring any of them.

Food:
I can make a Russian salad, either Vinegret or Oliv'e. First one is vegetarian, with beets and pickles. Second one has chopped up ham, pees and pickles (somewhat similar to potato salad) You tell me which one you would like

Regarding food...Olya....I do not have any tables for people to sit at. I have some concrete benches scattered around and a few lawn chairs with end tables. So it would be best to bring finger foods that do not require someone to sit with a plate and a fork. I will provide dishes, but it will be awkward to eat. Finger foods like sandwhiches, fruit slices, desserts, etc. will allow people to grab and still move around.
Lori

Tom we do have a pick up but I was hoping it would fit in my altima. The trunk is huge and the seats fold down. What size is the trellis? What can I bring for you??? I know I have lots of stuff out there.

Olya I have a rarer variegated crinium with white flowers if your interested.

Lori which orchids did I give you that you lost? I might be able to replace them? I will bring some fruit.

Keiki-I'm giving up on orchids. It was so much work this winter bringing them in and then back out, and the mess when doing so, that I see it's time to start downsizing. I left them out for the last cold snap, just couldn't find the energy or time to drag them all inside again. So no more orchids for me. But would love the Elkhorn!

As a "newbie" I don't have a lot to bring. I have started some Four o'clocks and I have rooted cuttings of Elephant Bush, and I have some umbrella grass starts. I also have an unused soaker hose and some other odds and ends. My yard is pretty empty so I will take anything I can get. Lori, I would like cuttings of your Epiphyllum Pumilum and Oxpetalum. Tom, I would like one of your Mahoi Dwarf Cavendish banana pups. Keiki, I would also like one of your banana pups, which ever one you like the best. I am really interested in everything and looking forward to putting faces to all of you I follow on the blog. My wife and I will bring some type of finger food and soda.

Keiki, YYT is yours. Makes a beautiful bush, you will love it! If you have any begonias, or ferns, I would love some cuttings. Or, if you have any left over water lily colorado or vanda teres, I would love that. Otherwise, no worries - YYT is yours regardless :)

Well, I finally got my PC back, it's been at the Tech. for over a week and I had 200 messages waiting... I can bring rose cuttings and I read somewhere to wrap them in paper-towels - wet - I have never had any luck rooting them myself but am glad to bring cutings for YOU to root, and will cut them the night before the swap... I am getting lots of DON JUAN also BELINDA's DREAM now they are all covered with buds so should have some cuttings of them..... I went to a meeting in Lakeland of the Central Fla. Heritage Rose Society a week ago Sunday, Dr. Malcolm Manners of Fla. Southern College gave a great presentation of Fertilizers, for roses, also the Ag. Agent for Hillsborough Co. was there and spoke...also another gal from north Fla. with over 900 roses to tend spoke....... they are going to have their next meeting here in St Pete, the second Sunday of the month, at a Member's house... if any of you folks are into roses this is a great group to join, at only $15. per year it is CHEAP, they also have a raffle and I brought home a 3 gal. pot with the Polyantha "The Fairy", own-root, so I will put it into a big pot...... they also had a 'cookie-time' after the meeting and I had some finger-treats that gave me an idea what to bring to the swap-meet, little bites of pastry with whipped-cream filling... delish.. the gal got them at Publix.......how does that sound ?. ..... sally

Karalynn,
I'll have a bamboo with your name on it.
Can I get some forsythia salvia and pineapple sage.
I'd also like to swap some of my crinums for one of
your milk and wine crinums. I have two different kinds
'Ellen Bosanquet' and amabile.

Lori,
I can bring soda and ice tea.

Someone posted they had a million or so plastic pots.
I'd be interested in a few of those if there not
spoken for.

I need to jump in here.
Already have a trade with Tom - vine for a plumeria
keiki, I'd love to trade for a variegated crinium lily.
I grow flowering and fragrant plants.
Hopefully I will bring something you'd like to have.
Who brought the red salvia last year?
I would sure like another one.
Can't wait.........cheryl

Thanks, Lori. I'll take any bamboo as long as it's clumping. I dream of one day having a bamboo hedge between my neighbors yard and my back garden, not that they're bad neighbors I'd just like a little privacy. I'll bring as many pagoda plants as you'd like, my parents are thinning theirs this year. The pond books would be wonderful. I'll also bring some lemonade and some of the plates, napkins, and such that were leftover from the swap I hosted last year.

Stonecrabber, thanks for the bamboo and I'll be sure to bring all three of the plants you want. What does amabile look like?

Olyagrove,
I'll bring a bamboo for you.
I'd like to get some of your begonias please.

karalynn,
I'm not the most computer literate person, so
I'm sure how to post a link to a pic. If you do google
image search for 'crinum amabile' you'll find a pic.
I also sent you an email about your 'totems'

To, I will have Mexican Cosmos planted up for you. I love the plant - even though it reseeds well, it has never become a nuisance.

More HAVEs:
I have one (or two) rooted grape cuttings ready go be planted. I ordered the cuttings two years ago from the UC Davis repository and all rooted, and I do not have room for so many :) The cuttings have been rooted last year and ready to be out of the pot. They will need room, full sun, support for the vine, and soil amendment.

Ok, I walked around the garden to see what else I have.
I have a lot of pink Four O'Clock, both seedlings and tubers.http://www.floridata.com/ref/M/mira_jal.cfm
Plant it as your own risk, as it responds a bit too well to love and care. I have one that never thrived in sandy soil. The one I put in the rose garden had to be moved, as the plant was getting bigger than roses. If you have a good spot where it is not going to compete with other plants, it is a very neat plant - lots of cute pink very fragrant blooms in the afternoon and evening.

I have one plant of Scutellaria (dark blue). I already have it potted up and ready to go. Adorable little plant, the mother plant originally from Lowes/HomeDepot. Grows very well in partial shade (although full sun is recommended, I had to move it to a more sheltered location)

Not for every garden. It is a bog plant and likes moist soil. It only blooms once a year, but when it does, it puts up an unbelievable show - bees and butterflies are all over it. I love it (and have plenty of seedlings as it reseeds rather well)
More info:

And I have this beautiful orange blooming bush, and I just cant remember its name, and do not have any pictures of the blooms. I will keep looking

Olya I can bring the lotus and or water lily. The lotus is momo botan and the water lily is colorado both are some of my favorite plants. The lotus has huge round leaves and pink blooms that stand up about 4' above the water. The lily has leaves that stand up above the water unlike many lilys but not as high as the lotus leaves do. The flower is a lovely peachy pink. FYI I have that aster in a dry spot in my yard and it thrives I think they are less picky than people think.

I am going to try to dig/divide more of the variegated crinium this week for the trade. Will earmark one for Cheryl and Karalynn.

Karalynn if I can bring you a crinium I am interested in your forsythia sage, mine went down this winter and hasn't returned. I am also interested in the monarda.

I will be able to bring a few more things like a black leaved begonia, black elephant ears, and a lady of the night baby.

****Remember other people are coming that are not on GardenWeb. I invited a gardening friend and a neighbor, others are bringing their friends, relatives and such. So just because no GWer asked for your items, you can still bring them."
Lori

I have some Rick-Rack cuttings,some Sugarcane,a Pencil Cactus,I can do a cutting of Lifesaver Cactus.For ponds I have lots of native purple Iris,and a native Lilly bulb,kind of like a Spider Lilly.My Mahoi Banana didn't make it Through the weather,so I'm interested in good quality Bananas.I will bring some pepper and tomato seedlings.If anybody would like a specific type of hot pepper variety,check with me and I might have the seeds.I'm in the process of re-potting orchids.I'll bring some bare-root cuttings of these,some named,some un-named.I'm looking for Cuban Mint,if anybody knows where I may obtain it!

Olya it seems like we have what the other wants :0) I would love the phal. The roses look great 2 I had a dissaster in my rose garden last year and need to replace 3. I have mutablis and love it but its a big girl. I would love the natchitoches noisette if its rooted. Also is Louise Phillipe red? I dislike blood red but love some shades.

Scoville I will be bringing some yummy bananas would love to swap for your orchids.

Olya,sorry,that appears to be the iris I have.I harvested from a ditch near Tampa 10 years ago.Thanks for naming it for me!Karalyn,thank you I used to pick them wild when a youngster.My Mom has a blue ribbon recipe for jelly!
Stonecrabber,I'll go for the fern,mine has lost it's zest so to speak.False alarm on the Mahoi!The deluge of the past weekend has brought a new sprout!Keiki,I'm still up for your bananas and have a special orchid 4 you.

Stonecrabber yes its brunsfelsia americana, I will put your name on it.

Tom if you are starting a butterfly garden would you like some porterweed? I can pot a few if anyone wants some.

I found some more cool stuff I can bring but think I shall keep it a surprise.

If I am bringing you a water plant please bring something to take it home in. I will be bringing them in a cooler. Also if you are interested in my bananas I will be bringing them bare root dug the evening before. The reason I do this is they will be large and you can pop them right into your yard.

Does anybody have Brugmansia with yellow flower ? I saw a pic on the Forum and looks great, I'd like to try it.... and I'm bringing Blood Leaf, Hens and Chickens, Spyder Plant, Snake Plant, Purple Queen, Oyster Plant, ferns, and rose clippings.. I also have some Borage coming up and spreading and can dig some for you but ask me... let me know what you want.... also I'm bringing sweets from Publix, some 2- bite cupcakes and 2- bite Brownies and different kinds of non-fattening cookies ... also some Home & Garden Magazines, House Beautiful, Better Homes & Gardens, Good Housekeeping, Traditional Home., and more , lots of pretty pictures and garden ideas ..... sally

Sally-I have a brug blooming now that is a yellow/orange. It seems to start yellowy then get more orangy. I was told it was either Dr. Suess or Jean Pasco. I'm leaning towards Dr. Suess. I'll try to get a photo.
Lori

Thanks Lori, I've never tried a Brug but have an area under a huge Magnolia tree with afternoon sun for abt. 4 hours, but the ground is all roots so anything going there has to be in pots.... I have a huge potted Ginger doing well but almost everything else I had there froze, so I want to get away from trying to have to cover that area when it's cold, and I read that this type of area might suit a brug..... what do you think ? I also have a Gardenia in a large pot there doing well and a big old Azalea, but the rest of the area is waiting ........... thanks, sally

I have a few items to add to what I am bringing to the swap. I don't have a lot of each but do have some rooted and unrooted cuttings as follows: A few very small succulent starts, that I think are Heuffelii, but IÂm not sure what kinds; Aptenia cordifolia - Baby Sun Rose both green and variegated and Swedish Ivy Plectranthus Hybrid 'Mona Lavender'.

Kgardens,
You mentioned above a ytt and clerodendrum quadriloculare.
I'm interested both of those. I've posted a few things and
will be bringing a few other things I haven't posted. Maybe
we can work a swap?

I have one Blue Sage (Eranthemum pulchellum), rooted, growing next to mom-plant.

I can bring a few divisions/rooted shoots of the plant that looks similar to this:http://www.viveroseljardin.com/catalog/images/hamelia%20patens2.jpg
Hamelia Patens
-- Unfortunately, I cannot find the name of mine. It is a shrubby plant, blooms with orange trumpet looking flowers and is a hummingbird/butterfly attractor. Somewhat sensitive to extreme cold (well, which plant wasnt) - but is back in full strength in the Spring

I will bring a few extras of Blue Giant walking iris and the regular yellow walking iris (great for shadier areas)

Please let me know if anyone is interested in the grapes - I do not want to haul it otherwise. 1 gallon plant, rooted and ready to be planted, but will need something to climb on

Anyone with a pond or bog interested in yellow native cannas? Canna flaccida. I keep it in the pond not only for pretty flowers, but for the plant's ability to act as a biological water filter. Let me know, so I can dig a few out of the pond :)

Karalynn I was looking at your page (hope you dont mind) - lovely! I love the hose guide!!!!! When you offered the totem was something like that available? Im not much into the glass ones but the ceramic is more my style.

I have recently set up a display on my deck using a bunch of antique crocks and pottery that have been in my family for generations. My plan is to fill the larger ones with water, put in a few mosquito fish and add some pond/water plants. To anyone coming to the Swap with these type of plants to share, I would like some to use here.
Here's a photo:

Keiki, I don't mind at all. That ceramic hose guide was an old lamp I found in a junk shop and that was the only time I found one that I could afford to turn into a hose guide. Would tou be interested in a stone one?

Tom, I will bring you aster plants - the mom plant sends out lots of shoots after she is done blooming. And then, when the young pups are done blooming, they too send out pups - so the population grows rather well :)

I have QW vine, but unfortunately, this year, due to the nasty weather, it froze to the ground :( It is finally starting to coming back from the roots and has a long way to go. Anna is , I think, a bit more south of us, so her vine did much better through the winter....

Does anyone know the name of this plant? I forgot! And does anyone have it in other colors? I particularly have been looking for blue, not sure if I will ever find it :)From Backyard Summer 2008

Yes, it's still on. Tomorrow morning. You can start backing into the driveway to drop off stuff anytime after 9. We'll start when everyone's here, probably around 10. DON'T BLOCK DRIVEWAY so others can back up into it, but parking in the street is fine.

Anyone interested in ground cover junipers? My whole front bed by the street needs to go. They just aren't getting enough sun and are getting spindly. You dig.

I'm thinking of putting wedelia in there...it's totally surrounded by concrete so it won't get out of control. So if anyone has some, bring it.
